Detailed Description

New perl is released every year and updates containing mainly bug fixes follow during the year. The release 5.16.0 should be stable release, but 5.16.1 should follow very soon fixing issues introduced in 5.16.0.

Benefit to Fedora

Fedora as bleeding edge distribution should be shipping new release of perl as one of the first distributions.

Scope

Every Perl package will be rebuilt in testing build root f18-perl against perl 5.16.0 and then if no major problem emerges the packages will be merged back to f18 build root.

How to Test

Download packages from koji buildroot f18-perl or try building or using your packages with requirements related to perl.
